∙ 14y agoSurface area and volume are two different things. Surface area is the outer area of a shape whereas volume is the amount inside a shape. For example: if you wanted to paint a shape, that would be surface area. If you wanted to fill a box with cm cubes, that would be volume.
If you want to work out the surface area of a cube, you would say:
Length x width x 6(because there are 6 sides)
If you wanted to work out the volume of a cube, you would say:
Length x width x height

Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
How does surface area describe a cell?
Surface area of cell is divided volume of cell to get surface to volume ratio . If surface area is 8 cm2 and volume is 2 cm2 . The ratio would be 4:1 .
What is the area to cell's outer surface in relationship to it's volume?
The surface-area-to-volume-ratio
What is meant by surface area to volume ratio?
Surface area to volume ratio is defined as the amount of surface area per unit volume of either a single object or a collection of objects. The calculation of this measurement is important in figuring out the rate at which a chemical reaction will proceed.
How does the surface area to volume ratio change as the cell size increases?
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
How can you find a cell's survace area to volume ratio?
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
What happens to the surface area to volume ratio when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane?
The surface area to volume ratio will increase
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
What are adaptations for the surface area to volume ratio?
When an animal for example an elephant has a large surface area to volume ratio (big animals) it can lose heat easier which is an adaptation to survive the climate in which they live
What is ratio of surface area to volume?
surface area/ volume. wider range of surface area to volume is better for cells.
What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following measurements surface area 300m2 volume 500m3?
0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
Which statements about the ratio of cell surface area to cell volume is are correct?
Larger cells will have a greater surface area-to-volume.
How does surface area to volume ratio affects an organism?
If the surface area of the organism is small, then there is no problem with getting all the oxygen needed. If the surface area of the organism is large, therefore a special respiratory surface is needed. An example is lungs, gills. The ratio of surface area to volume in a small organism is greater than the ratio in a large organism.
What happens to a cell ratio of surface area to volume as the cells volume increases rapidly than its surface area?
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
